PHOTO II
​
This year i thought my classes were going to be so hard i was really sacred. I met my teachers and its not so bad after all, i like my classes. Although, i already feel so much pressure because this year i know i cant mess around at all. I need to have a 3.6 GPA or even higher if i can. This year the classes that i have i cant slack off because i have AP classes and lately ive been getting a lot of homework and we do a lot of in class assignments. If i dont do my work my grade goes down a lot and i cant afford that. I think that this year my classes will give me a lot of capacity to be more responsible and incourage me to do better in school.
My favorite class so far has been Algebra 2 with Mr.Mondejar. Everyone was saying that algebra was super hard and all these otther negative things, when in reality its so easy. Last year geometry would get me bored. I had a really cool teacher and she was like one of my faorites, but the class itself wasnt. Algebra is intresting and it keeps me entertained. I have been understanding every lesson so far and it makes me feel acomplished.
I love feeling smart because when i dont understand i stress out so much.
3. Was building your website hard or easy? Explain why?
Building my website wasnt hard at all. It took me like 5 minutes to actually make it since i already had an account. This year i havent edited it much like i did last year, i went all out. This year i just kept it how it was becasue i want it more plane. Thats why it was easier and a lot faster to make my website.
This first project that we did was a lot more intense, i like it. Last year i didnt learn much with editing and it was so boring at times that i wouldnt find it intresting. With this project i learned a lot of different things. I loved the overlaying images one becasue ive always wanted to learn how to do that on photoshop. It was even more simple than i thought it was, i thought it was gonna be all complicated to do it. Youtube helped me a lot to learn how to photoshop the images, that was something i never did last year. I was absent and i ended up falling behind a bit but i still managed to finish the project luckly. .
The coolest picture i have taken so far was the one of kirstin. It is shot from a worms eye view and the sun is giving her great lighting on her shoulders. It doesnt look amazing, but i discovered how to not make the sun affect my images. At first i wasnt able to get the right angle without getting like a weird white lighting that looked awful, but in the end i figured it out. Ive noticed that my images got better whcih i hope this year there is much more progress in the way i shoot. The image was really cool but i didnt end up doing a cool edit with it.
The style of photography that i'm intrested in is landscape photography. I doubt we will ever shoot pictures like those in school, but maybe ill do it for a project if im able to find some cool places to take pictures. The reason why i love this style of photogrpahy is because i think its beautiful. Id love to learn more about it and be able to shoot pictures.On labor Day i dont plan to do much since i go to work. On monday maybe ill go out and do something, but i doubt ill do anything. I rather get some rest since i never get a break from anyhting. My mom is out of town and the house is my responsibility. I have to keep it clean and everything organized. Im currently living with my brother and my dad and they are the messiest guys ever. They never clean anything so i have to clean the entire house and it sucks.

1. What is blur motion? (In your own words, not what I gave you above) Explain.
Blur motion is a type of photography that the object or something else moves and makes a blur effect on the image.
2. What all do you need to create a blur motion image? Explain.
to creat a blur motion you have to Slow Down Your Shutter Speed. The reason why you have to do this is because the amount of time that the shutter of a camera is open is long enough to allow your camera's image sensor to see the movement of your subject. when that happens whatever is moving will give it a blur affect.
3. What is your subject going to be? What will it be doing? Explain.
my subject is going to be moving around a lot. I want my subject to have long hair and for them to shake their head. I also might have my subject jumping around. I can even make my subject run and capture the image.
4. What do you adjust in the camera to get a blur motion image work? Explain.
In order to get a blur motion image to work you have to adjust the camera to
5. Find 25 images and explain how it was taken and what it is I am seeing in the image?

1. What is blur motion? (In your own words, not what I gave you above) Explain.
Blur motion is when you have asubject that is moving it will come out blurred and seem like its going really fast. This all depends on how slow your shutter speed is, the slower it is the more blur there will be.
2. How did you create your blur images with the camera? Explain.
At first i changed my settings to manual and i started to mess with the shutter speed. When i went outside and it was sunny my images would not come out because everything was too white and it looked awful. Then i googled how to fix that and i changed my dial mode to the "s" and my images came out so much more clear.
3. What did you do to the image in photoshop? Explain.
I did a lot of different things with the editing. On some i only vhanged like the brightness and the contrast. There was one picture where i overlayed 2 images of the same thing but one came out more blurry then the other. I also changed the filter, but what i did is that i got the blue and brown color and overlayed it making it give a bit of a filter.
4. What was difficult about shooting this image? Explain.
The difficult part was knowing what to change my settings to. either my shutter speed was too low or to high. I also ran out of ideas and i felt like it was impossible and i had so much frusteration but i think i kinda got the hang of it now
5. What was easy about shooting this image or editing it? Explain.
The easy part was after i got familiar with the settings. After that i didnt struggle as much to take pictures and it became fun. The editing wasnt hard because in the last project i got practice and from doing that i knew what to do
advanced lighting technique
1.How do you think photographers draw with light? Explain.
I think the way that photographers draw light is that they use a light or anything that is bright and they stand somewhere dark and they start to draw something and the camera captures the image. Like they bitterly draw somthing in the air and the camera will capture some sort of cool image.
2. What is this technique called? Explain why it is called that.
This technique is called graphity photography, the reason why it is called that is because you are drawing something like you would when you are doing graffiti on walls,
3. How do you take the picture and draw at the same time? Explain.
The way you take pictures and draw at the same time is by having the camera on a tripod to help you hold down the camera and keep it steady, you shoot the camera and get in front of it as fast as you can and you can begin to draw things, you wait till the camera processes everything and you can move after that and see your results.
4.Does color effect how the viewer views an image? Explain.
the color effects a lot of things but then again it might not if you draw omething with a whITe light but it still looks cool i douubt it might be a problem at all. Then again when you add color things start to become even more interesting and brings out more attention.
5.Do colors resemble emotions? Explain.
colors do resemble emotions. like red is said to always represent passion, and white represents peace in many ways. If you add colors to an image you can actually give off a very strong emotion to the viewer, When you are able to represent emotions through color it will make the image alot more interesting and pretty,
6. How do you add the color? Explain.
The way you add color to an image is very simple. you can use light bulbs that have different colors and that makes an image really cool. you can also use photoshop i guess but it wont really be the sme to when you already have that colored lighting.
7. How would you use the Exposure Triangle with these techniques? Explain.
the way to use an exposure triangle with these technique is that you will have to mess around with your ios appeture and shutter speed. depending on each type of image you are doing you will need it so that you know how to adjust the camera to get a very good shot.
8.Strand lights do what to an image? Explain.
what strand lights do to an image is that they focuse on the light and blur out all of its surroundings. When you have someone holding lights it also ilimunates their face very well and lights up parts and leaves others wth shadows.
9.How do you reflect light and get color? Explain.
The way you reflect light and get color is with a reflector. you put it under the subject and point light towards it and that light will bounce off onto your subject. or you can even get a CD and use the bottom part of it where it has all those cool little colors. once light shines onto it it will creat a reflection of color onto your image.
​
The reason why i picked this image is because i like they way the yellow lighting forms bright in the center and starts fading into a darker yellow. I think the photographer took it and actually used photoshop for this. It seems hard to get an entire image to get it to look like that
The reason why i picked this image is because the lighting goes directly into her eyes and the rest is shadowy. I think the photographer took this photo by setting a fill light. Then they look for angles where they were able to find the shadows and focus the light mainly in her eyes.

1. The reason to why i picked this image was because i think its a really beautiful image. I really like how the lake is in front of a house surrounded with trees. The trees are also really tall and they are a little far away from each other. When i look at the water i see the reflexion of the tree and i think that looks amazing. i like how the water has the reflexion of the sky as well and has the same color, making the water look like a weird brownish color. That is why i picked this image.
2.The style of photography has a landscape style. Then again I'm not sure what kind of style it would be since there is a reflexion involved. The way this image fits into landscape is because nature is involved. There is a lake, trees and a view of the sky with the sun setting in the background. You see a beautiful view of nature and that is why this image fits into landscape photography.
3.This image looks like it might of been hard to shoot because of the reflexion. when i think about how they shot this image i think that it was complicated. then again i sure they just had to wait till the sun was setting so that the light would be low down and cause a shadow affect on the water. The found the right spot and shot the image with a tripod.
